SOMETHING TO DECLARE:

Why reading a magazine is the best way to fuel your travel dreams

I’ve seen things people wouldn’t believe. Trees weeping dragon’s blood on the mysterious island of Socotra. Men fighting crocodiles to drag building sand from the bed of the Niger River. A tribe painted in the form of skeletons, waiting at a bus stop in Papua New Guinea.

Stephen Fry has given me a lift in a London black cab between the towering rock sculptures of Monument Valley. Dolly Parton has welcomed me to her Tennessee mountain home and Peter Jackson has guided me through the fantastical landscapes of Middle-earth.

PETER GRUNERT is the group editor of Lonely Planet’s magazines in the UK and USA. He recently managed a trip to Dollywood, but still longs to meet Dolly Parton in person.

About Lonely Planet Traveller (UK)

In the April issue…
Join us as we celebrate the 100th issue of the magazine, and look forward to the next hundred. For the occasion, we've found a unique destination for our Great Escape – Madagascar, an island that is almost a world in itself. Other features take in film directors' favourite shooting spots in Paris; the Bay Area of California on the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love; and Lisbon, a city best understood through the Portuguese emotion of 'saudade'. Plus, discover our magazine staff's most memorable moments in putting together 100 issues, and much more
